She Wore Red Trainers switches back and forth between two teenagers who keep bumping into each other during the summer after high school. It’s an interesting look at what life can be like for practising Muslims in South London, and it depicts aspects of that culture which I didn’t know about.
But as a YA novel about dealing with family issues, the pressures of family expectations and working out what to do after high school, it’s pretty unremarkable. Not as moving nor as tightly written as it could have been - unlike some other novels that deal with similar themes (albeit in different contexts). (
